The Mint said in a news release that the coin will be 24-karat gold, weigh one ounce and come with a Certificate of Authenticity.

"The 2017 American Liberty 225th Anniversary Gold Coin is the first in a series of 24-karat gold coins that will feature designs which depict an allegorical Liberty in a variety of contemporary forms-including designs representing Asian-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, and Indian-Americans among others-to reflect the cultural and ethnic diversity of the United States. These 24-karat gold coins will be issued biennially," the release states.

The Mint released a behind-the-scenes video yesterday detailing the making of the historic coin.
